Genesis 18:13

11 Now ^aAbraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and¹ Sarah ^bhad passed the age of childbearing.

12 Therefore Sarah ^alaughed within herself, saying, ^b“After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my ^clord being old also?”

13 And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’

14 ^aIs anything too hard for the Lord? ^bAt the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh!”

Genesis 18:13

And the Lord (Jehovah) said, etc. - So it appears that one of those three persons was Jehovah, and as this name is never given to any created being, consequently the ever-blessed God is intended; and as he was never seen in any bodily shape, consequently the great Angel of the covenant, Jesus Christ, must be meant. See note on Genesis 16:7.
